4. Along the Way

Don't like the way you're feeling
Don't wanna know who's at the door
So much over-compensation
Just pick yourself right up off the floor

Oh haven't we been here before
And maybe we both know just what's in store
With all the promises you make
Chances you take
Pieces fall in place along the way

Don't believe in superstition
Only takes you for a ride
Still I got a premonition
Can't go wrong when you're right inside

Oh haven't we been here before
And maybe we both know just what's in store
With all the promises we make
Chances we take
Pieces fall in place along the way

With all the people that we meet
And everything we read
Pieces fall in place along the way

5. Shaky Ground

We must've had some idea what we were in for
When we chose to come back through
But there's so much freedom in between the things you think you have to do

Holding tight, your routine is an addiction
Realize all your wounds are self-inflicted
See the signs just in time to find a safer place to fall

Ah while the rumors fly
Up down and all around
Some will run but some will try
To keep their feet on shaky ground

Anna lies and she's sittin' in indecision
Forty-nine and still looking for the vision
So satisfied with everything except her social life

Wrong people talking and they occupy your mind
Just so much squawking and a total waste of time
Post some more bullshit just hoping that somebody gives a like

Ah while the rumors sway
Side to side and up and down
Some will go but some will stay
And shape their fate on shaky ground

(solo)

Ah while the rumors fly
Up down and all around
Some will run but some will try
To make their way on shaky ground

Ah while the rumors fly
Up down and all around
Some will run but you and I
Will make our way on shaky ground

7. Fine Crooked Line

Now I got in my mind an imaginary line that separates fiction from fact
Arbitrary borders and the natural disorder of another systematic attack
Turning up the heat another fifty degrees on the pressure cooker cooking inside
Put the petty problem on the broken back burner where the petty problems ought to reside

Were you just sayin' when you said you were just saying that you never would've crossed the line?
Talking hypothetical, waxing theoretical, takes me back to junior high
Punitive penitence, cognitive dissonance, what's it gonna mean in the end?
Disregard the danger in Pascal's wager and your wrapped around a riddle again

Ah, divide
Day into night
Lie on your side of the
Fine crooked line

Embrace the ambiguity along the continuity of everything you thought that you knew
Bluster like General Custer, fever in the filibuster, taking people down with you
Catch the technicality, create your own reality, spin it any way that you wish
Just a step outside the favor of your private echo chamber, gonna take a hell of a hit

Always read in between all the lines you think you see, feelings tend to turn on a dime
Optimism, pessimism, realism, cataclysm, cycle through the states of your mind
Attitude, gratitude, put it in a platitude, bat your lashes, give me a smile
Sittin' on the edge of fences thinking 'bout the consequences, let's just sit and talk for a while

Ah divide
Day into night
Lie on your side of the
Fine Crooked line

(solo)

Now I got in my mind an imaginary line that separates fiction from fact
Arbitrary borders and the natural disorder of another systematic attack
Attitude, gratitude, put it in a platitude, bat your lashes, give me a smile
Sittin' on the edge of fences thinking 'bout the consequences, let's just sit and talk for a while

Ah divide
Day into night
Lie on your side of the
Fine Crooked line

8. Nightshining

She sails above the other clouds
Summer twilight lingers while she makes her rounds
Wrapped in electric blue and a sparkling silver gown
Color the sky with her fire as the sun goes down

He sends a wave of flame
Figures fifty miles, it's all the same
All clear now, nothing's in the way
Takes another one down and calls it a perfect day

Sometimes it all lines up
Something to see
Somewhere we can climb up
High, so high
